Apr 6, 2021

Privacy concerns have existed since the creation of the Internet. Big tech companies sucked our data most of the time and sold it to their partners to form an information network about us.

Wrapped tokens

Feb 23, 2021

Bitcoin is digital gold and, like gold, it is becoming increasingly difficult to move and use as digital money. As the network ages and transaction fees increase, its use as a medium of exchange gradually decreases. However, there are a number of other solutions that could make Bitcoin a lot more practical. Many speak of off-chain scaling solutions like the Lightning network. But there is another really exciting option, namely “Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)” or “Wrapped Token”.

Transaction fees for Ethereum are reaching record highs

Feb 16, 2021

If you've had anything to do with Ethereum at all lately, you've probably noticed that the high gas fees have made the network almost unusable. Once upon a time, the side effects of high gas fees were only felt by those using DeFi protocols and decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, where a simple swap could cost over $100 in gas fees. Even centralized exchanges like Binance charge over $40 in fees to transfer ERC20 stable coins like USDT and USDC.

Janet Yellen's stance on cryptocurrencies

Jan 26, 2021

Back in 2018, the former Federal Reserve Chairwoman and future Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was "not a fan" of the abundance of cryptocurrencies. Since then, Yellen has been able to soften her tone a bit, as the Federal Reserve may be investigating the development of its own stable coins. During a hearing last week, however, Yellen said again that one really needs to look at cryptocurrencies and investigate that they are being used for illegal activities.
